Andrew Bird adds extra London date

The weird and wonderful Andrew Bird has added a second date at the Union Chapel, on the 11th of November. Famously using esoteric instruments – glockenspiel, wurlitzer and tape loops – Bird deserves to be equally recognised for his soaring choruses and unusual song compositions, full of serenity and sudden bursts of energy, Donnie Darko-style lyrics, delicate chords and impromptu whistles and sighs. His is a mesmeric, magical sound, and I can’t think of a better venue for it than the eerie old Islington chapel that awaits.
